ington to attend the funeral of his broth
er, Henry Davis. The deceased has rel

We learn from ]. G. Fowler that the
sale of the Oakside herd of short horn
cattle, owned by ]. N. Cheney, of Made
liza, held at that place yesterday, was at
tended by a large number of cattle
breeders, some of the most prominent
stock men of the State. The cattle as
rule brought good prices.
The funeral of Carl Schroeder oc-
Cured at his home near st. Clair at one
O'Clock this afternoon. He was mem
Der of Schiller Lodge, No. %, l. o. o. F.
of this city, and about twenty members
of that lodge, together with about ten
other members of the order attended
the funeral.
Mr.. E. ]. Sheldon met with quite
serious accident last evening as he was
returning home from down town. When
near Waite's corner he stumbled and
fell, injuring his thigh, shoulder and
head. He was picked up and taken to
his home on a street car, and medical aid
summoned. He will be confined to his
bed for long time. DR.. Warner has
the case in charge.
The gas company has thoroughly
reorganized and Mr.. R. ]. Powell has
been chosen Superintendent. He has
performed the duties of the Office for
several months and is well posted on all
matters connected with his position. 1t
goes without question that he will give
good satisfaction to the consumers of
gas and to the company. He now for
the first time takes charge of affairs as
the recognized superintendent. Under
the new management the company will
try to give better satisfaction than ever
before and will make every effort to this
end. 1t Is safe to predict that little fault
will be found with the new manage
ment.
County Auditor Scattergood has paid
out 81 1872 in gopher bountIes to date.
Mr.. John Klein has received the
most elegant bedroom set from the
East ever brought to this city.
-Jenson & Firestone have just turned
out fine piece of work in the shape of
a carriage which had been ordered by

DIR. Haynes, of St. Clair, whose
death was prematurelv announced
week ago, died Yesterday and the funer-
al occurred to-day. He was an old and
respected citizen, and had an extensive
acquaintance in all parts of the county.
j. A. Henry, of the GAINESVILLE argus,
has returned to that place. His runa-
way wife is also there, but living with
her parents. 1t is said no attempt at a
reconciliation has been made between
the parties. The public feeling against
Seymour is so strong that he is likely to
be tarred and feathered should he carry
out his expressed determination of re-
turning to GAINESVILLE.
MIR. Patterson is deserving of the
credit of getting the reservoir matter
through the council. He is enthusiastic
in his support of the system of water
works he seeks to have adopted and he
met all attempts at delaying the matter
with valid arguments showing why haste
is necessary. During the discussion he
stated that he had heard that insurance
companies were seriously considering
the ACCESSIBILITY of canceling every pol
icy held in the city, if the system of
water works was not improved.
The Manitoba and Minneapolis & St.
Louis trains will run from st. Paul and
Minneapolis to the fair grounds every
ten minutes during the State Fair, and
passengers will be landed insided the
grounds. Admission tickets can be pro-
cured at the depots in both cities, and
visitors will not be compelled to stop at
the gate to buy their tickets. Every
arrangement for the comfort of visitors
has been made, and everybody will be
taken care Of Ample hotel accommo-
dations can be had in both cities at reg
ular rates. The big dining hall on the
fair grounds, capable of seating 600 peo-
pie, will serve regular meals at so cents
each. No high-priced lunches will be
sold in this place, and the hall will be
managed on an entirely different plan
from that of last year, and one which it
is believed will give entire satisfaction.
